UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor: Investigate the Possibility that Israel is Committing the Crime of Genocide Against the Palestinian People

On Nakba Day I want the right to be angry Nada Elia on Mondoweiss

I am angry at the fact that this is a year of milestones, each adding to the previous one’s devastation, with none celebrating a major victory. 2017 marks one hundred years since the Balfour Declaration, 69 years since al-Nakba, 50 years since al-Naksa. And yet for many, it is only that most recent blow, “the occupation,” that registers as wrong, as if imperialism, settler-colonialism and genocide were perfectly acceptable.
